Not all symptoms in the bug were resolved, because of this related issue. That said, ok - I'll give NM another shot when I bored enough to break my system a little. Still, though - Any idea what is different between the ifup at boot and the ifup in my rc.local? Why would the one work and not the other?

Here is one thing that I considered when I was researching this problem some time ago. (I don't recall if I even resolved it or not now.) I wondered if something else e.g. NM was doing an ifdown at somepoint when it took over control of the network device. I wondered if this was true because when I switched to a text console before NM was running and found that the interface was up, but then it was down once I was logged in. Again I remember nothing else about what I did or did not do or even if I resolved it.
